MASK-UP

As we all know Nigeria is in the Second wave of the pandemic. This time the death is drawing nearer home, we are not just hearing anymore but also seeing people who have been infected and others who have unfortunately died. It also seems that at this time people are more nonchalant than ever, which is very risky.

I would love to advice the general public no matter how hard it might be, to adhere to COVID-19 protocols  ( e.g social distance ,wearing a face mask, washing the hands regularly with soap and water/ using an alcohol based hand sanitizer, etc.) because it for our benefits. 

I would also love to plead with people that enforce COVID-19 protocols to do the right thing. For example, I am about to enter the mall with my face mask and I see the security guard at the gate who is telling others to wear their face mask with his on his chin or nowhere to be found at all, this makes me sick to my stomach.

Last week, I also went to the hospital for checkup. The nurse at the front desk kept on shouting at patients to wear their mask properly or sit outside, in a rude way as usual and her mask was not even covering her nose.I looked at her and I just rolled my eyes.

Nevertheless do what is right regardless of what others are doing.

    Maybe we should go along with a public address system shouting “MASK UP” in the ears of defaulters irrespective of whether they are also meant to be the enforcers.😈😁

SOME DAYS AFTER FATHER'S DAY

Image
I would have written this piece on Father's Day but I didn't want to be selfish. I didn't want to turn a happy occasion to a sad one. So I'll write it today, some days after Father's Day. I don't think I was ever told what death was. Not even now. No one ever sat with me to have that "talk", the one that tries to soften the tough blow reality has dealt you. I just… knew. And i knew pretty young too. Like they say, experience is the best teacher. Unfortunately, this was a lesson it handed me too early, in my honest opinion. Over the years, I’ve tried to understand death—sometimes with anger, sometimes with sympathy. I’ve written letters to it and gotten no answers.  It’s been 15 years since November 22nd, 2009. I was four years, eleven months, two weeks, and a day old. My first real encounter with death. Too young to understand.  Too old to ever forget. I wrote my first tribute at six. Now that I think about it, that was probably my earliest publishe...

THIS LITTLE LIFE

It’s currently 12:36 AM. All my roommates are fast asleep. I just woke up and I plan to take a bath. Don’t ask me why I’m bathing this late—and mummy, if you're reading this, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again. But back to the actual picture: it’s past midnight and I’m left with my thoughts in the silence of my room. So I’ve decided to do what I love—write. Now, I’m not going to come here and give excuses for not writing in a while. I'm not even going to say “school has been after my life.", even though it has. I’ll own up to my inconsistency because something I’m learning lately is to be more accountable for my actions. Someone asked me today why I still hadn’t written—even though they remind me every time. The answer was already at the tip of my tongue: “I’ve just been so busy.” And that wouldn’t have been a lie. This semester has hit me with waves of emotions and intense fatigue. But I didn’t say that. Despite the chaos, I had made a promise to myself to write more on my ...

BODY DYSMORPHIA DID NOT FALL FROM THE SKY‼

BODY DYSMORPHIA DID NOT FALL FROM THE SKY!!!! Today, a lot of people are quick to judge others who undergo cosmetic surgeries, especially in Africa, but are not quick to remember the snide remarks made to such individuals in the past about their bodies. Rome wasn't built in a day; decisions like these are most likely the result of negative comments they have heard over the years. Many of our parents try to understand where our insecurities stem from, forgetting they were the first to make "harmless" jokes or comments about our bodies or looks as children. Sadly, some of our first bullies were the adults in our lives—parents, teachers, and others who were entrusted to build our confidence. Growing up skinny in Nigeria was practically character development for me. I grew up skinny and very aware because people pointed it out a lot, directly or indirectly. If I didn't know I wasn't Yoruba, I would have been sure that "lepa shandi" was my middle name. Commen...
